MED 5577A

Single-Coated Film

MED 5577A is a single-coated, soft, pliable, transparent polyurethane film with a thin acrylic highly absorbent adhesive. This product's unique proprietary adhesive formulation, TASA™, Thin Absorbent Skin Adhesive, allows air and moisture to pass freely through the breathable adhesive and film carrier, which can support extended wear time and reduce the likelihood of skin maceration. Its soft, low-friction transparent film allows for site visibility and its thin profile increases conformability.

Typical Application

Designed for advanced and consumer wound care, ostomy and fixation applications.
